score so far: 4/4
DRX 2 - 1 VIT
Predicted maps: Abyss, Haven, Fracture. I think Abyss will go DRX's way: they beat geng and t1 pretty comfortably on this map. Then, Vitality takes Haven: drx struggled against the yoru iso comp. Eventually, DRX wins on Fracture, purely because they had a day off and watched Vitality play the map today, but it's a 50/50
EDG 1 - 2 G2
Predicted maps: Haven, Lotus, Fracture. EDG takes Haven, it's their best map (back-to-back 13-0). G2 wins Lotus, because EDG still run their clove comp, and G2 should be able to counter that easily. Fracture, however, is a complete coin toss. I genuinely have no idea who will win this map. I went with G2, because EDG played a KJ comp last time, which is countered by Tejo (this is not reliable, since china didn't have tejo from the start + month of prep, but that's the only reason i can think of).
TL 2 - 0 SEN
Predicted maps: Abyss, Split, Lotus. Abyss is Liquids best map, they won it 4/4 times, so they should win. On split teams are pretty close. I went for Liquid after seeing how close they were to winning it against edg (if not for the missed astra suck). Unlucky for Sen, but i don't think they have a single super strong map, which will cost them
T1 2 - 1 TE
Predicted maps: Lotus, Bind, Pearl. I would like to believe that Trace have better gameplans in their pocket, but after today's games, i have to go with T1 on Lotus. Trace might win Bind, especially given how T1 just can't accept the fact that they're not that good on this map. But eventually, T1 takes it on Pearl
